FIND A LIFESTYLE COACH

Why Payers Are Taking Action

Type 2 diabetes is preventable. NDPP is an evidence-based program that works to prevent diabetes.

In people with pre-diabetes, HALF of new cases of Type 2 diabetes can be prevented with structured lifestyle change programs like NDPP.

NDPP is a high value program because so many people are eligible to participate.

NDPP is an effective, evidence-based cost avoidance strategy

NDPP supports simple lifestyle changes that result in improved population health outcomes.

Plan members at high risk for pre-diabetes and diabetes are the most common and costly.

Per Member Per Year (PMPY) costs for persons with no diabetes are significantly lower than for persons with diabetes. Even after 10 years, those who participated in NDPP had a lower rate of Type 2 diabetes.

Work with plan purchasers to conduct a Type 2 diabetes risk assessment on their health plan population.

Apply the Pre-diabetes Algorithm to plan purchasers’ claims or health risk assessment data to identify members at high risk of developing pre-diabetes or diabetes.

Work with plan purchasers to understand the cost Per Member Per Year/Per Member Per Month (PMPY/PMPM) and what the potential cost avoidance could be within one year if NDPP is applied to the book of business for the health plan.

3. Make NDPP a covered health benefit

Incorporate NDPP into new health plan designs.

Recommend inclusion of NDPP in existing plan purchasers’ book of business.
